I have struggled with the idea this semester that I'm supposed to go find things to read and then blog about them. I don't have time to blog. Like most people in my class and life, I'm busy. I have a full time job, am going to school full time, and have other personal commitments that I signed myself up for. My brain keeps saying, though "at least you don't have children." People with kids are INFINITELY busier than I am, so if Michelle can find time put up her thoughts, then I certainly can. Of course, I'm much more relaxed reading someone else's blog than take the chance of writing my own, but that's my own issue I'll get figured out eventually!
So today, I took a chance and went to Brent's blogsite to read a little bit. I read his posting about Finding Your Voice and thought - hey, that sounds like me. I don't have any issues with the technical aspects of blogging. I'm just not sure that I have anything all that interesting to say. I followed a few links and found Wendy's blog In the Middle of the Curve: Fear of Blogging and it settled my anxiety a little bit. Now I just need to schedule the time to read things and blog about them!

I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts - albeit I do scan them quite quickly instead of reading word for word. Word for word is reserved for my other Masters class - voluminous chapters upon chapters of reading from 4 textbooks. Word for word allows me to get "informed" as to the topics - informed so I can regurgitate it all in a 7-10 page paper to prove I've really learned something. So in comparison - really this is no different than the whole powerpoint elearning trends you posted about. What really is learning anyway? I don't have a full day to ponder the thoughts in these 4 large textbooks to any depth. I mean, really, teacher, think about it!
So, Margi, thanks for your ramblings, I really do love to read through them, even though they deserve more than my speed reading!
